Whoever is pleased to meet God tomorrow as a Muslim, let him perform these prayers wherever he calls them, for God has prescribed for your Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, the Sunnahs of guidance, even if they are among the Sunnahs of guidance. If you had prayed in your homes as this retarded person prays in his house, you would have abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet. If you had abandoned the Sunnah of your Prophet, you would have gone astray. And there is no man who purifies himself and purifies himself well and then goes to one of these mosques except that God records for him a good deed for every step he takes. And it raises him in rank, and removes from him a bad deed, and you have seen us, and no one abandons it except a hypocrite with known hypocrisy. A man used to be brought and guided between two men until he stood in line.

ويا من يجزي بمثقى لذرة شر شرا
أجر عبدك النعمان من النار
وباعد بينه وبين ما يقربه منها
وأدخله في واسع رحمتك يا أرحم الراحمين
I have never seen someone wiser, better, or more pious than Abu Hanifa
لم أر أعقل ولا أفضل ولا أورع من أبي حنيفة
If the servant's happiness is in both worlds Hanging on the guidance of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace Everyone who advises and loves himself must be saved and happy To know who guided him, his life, and his condition What comes out of those who are ignorant of it He is counted among his followers People in this situation range between independent, prosperous and deprived And grace is in the hand of God. He gives it to whomever He wishes God is of great bounty
إذا كانت سعادة العبد في الدارين
معلقةً بهدي النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
فيجب على كل من نصح نفسه وأحب نجاتها وسعادتها
أن يعرف من هديه وسيرته وشأنه
ما يخرج به عن الجاهلين به
ويدخل في عداد أتباعه
والناس في هذا بين مستقل ومستكثر ومحروم
والفضل بيد الله يؤتيه من يشاء
والله ذو الفضل العظيم

Muhammad ibn Ishaq mentioned among those who migrated to the land of Abyssinia, Abu Musa al-Ash’ari, Abdullah ibn Qays, may God be pleased with him. I don't know what made him do that This is an apparent matter that is not hidden from those who are below him in this matter
ذكر محمد بن إسحاق في جملة من هاجر إلى أرض الحبشة أبى موسى الأشعري عبد الله بن قيس رضي الله عنه
وما أدري ما حمله على ذلك
فإن هذا أمر ظاهر لا يخفى على من هو دونه في هذا الشأن
This is not hidden from anyone who is less than Muhammad bin Ishaq, let alone him Rather, the illusion arose that Abu Musa migrated from Yemen to the land of Abyssinia To Jaafar and his companions when he heard about them Then he came with them to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, in Khaybar As stated in the Sahih So Ibn Ishaq counted that of Abu Musa as a migration He did not say that he immigrated from Mecca to Abyssinia in order to denounce him
وليس ذلك مما يخفى على من هو دون محمد بن إسحاق فضلا عنه
وإنما نشأ الوهم أن أبى موسى هاجر من اليمن إلى أرض الحبشة
إلى عند جعفر وأصحابه لما سمع بهم
ثم قدم معهم على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بخيبر
كما جاء مصرحا به في الصحيح
فعد ذلك ابن إسحاق لأبي موسى هجرة
ولم يقل إنه هاجر من مكة إلى الحبشة لينكر عليه
This is a correct attribution Its apparent meaning indicates that Abu Musa, may God be pleased with him, was in Mecca And he went out with Jaafar bin Abi Talib, may God be pleased with him, to the land of Abyssinia
هذا إسناد صحيح
وظاهره يدل على أن أبا موسى رضي الله عنه كان بمكة
وأنه خرج مع جعفر بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه إلى أرض الحبشة

He said, “I am God’s messenger to you that God has loved you as you loved him for him.”
